RNBO Raspberry Pi shutdown
Hello,
Is it necessary/recommended to properly shutdown a rPi4 with RNBO, as opposed to just killing power?
I am building something for a long running installation that needs to work unattended. Everything should start up fine just with power, but should I use some sort of shutdown command before power gets killed, like we do with PCs? I have an Arduino on the network that could send osc for that with a button, or I can have a python script running with the gpio pins. Or is it just fine to simply kill the power, long term?
Thanks, long time Max user, new to RNBO.
plus one, for this question.
i suppose the os is not in read only mode, so turning it off by killing power might corrupt the sd over time.
what's the recommended process here?
It’ll saver to send a shutdown command for the reason Robin mentioned.
That would be my recommendation to be on the safe side.
In practice however I find RasPis very robust to power cutting.
